Seplling! Puncuation! Its such a grate thing, is it; It helps me seprate concrete thouhts from feelings. and it helps me get betrter grads in my collge classess!
Heres how it is; Im relly a grate riter. Don’t let anyonebody tell you difrent. here’ss why: I relly now my stuff. I don’t want to get uop on a sop-box and preech or anything, but im good. some of that, its just in-born into who my personlity happns to be. some more of it, its becuze of schoolling, like LBCC.
LbcC has dun wiondrs for my puncuation and grammamatical skills. Its relly simple, its because lbc’sc got relly good intstructrs. its different; some places are. They have teachrs that arent rilly concerned about how much I or you might learn. some places, they arent carring about that. no, they wuld rathjer just lets us studentrs go off and try the best wec an with a texbook: and mayebb internet, but they don’t care much, and it shows.
but, if one thing, lbccc has tought me, its this; how much effrt you put in: that is how much you get back.
but enuff abnout lBCC, bcause lots of people go here and have known for themselfs what I meen. now, more about me. I relly, relly apprecate good litrature. if you handded me a book and said ‘ok brandon, tell us what is in here, I culd tell you, ‘”well, its about a man strggling with the cmoplexitys of aging, and a creeepng feelng that the wrld passd him by bfore he was reddy. And you would say: you are right. I cant’ beleve how smrt you aer, and I wuld say [its ok, im just that way frm birth].
ok so now u know huw much i kno, but what exackly, you ask- what uis it abour righting that I most admire-? Good shrt storys, they have to have a point. if I reed, and I can’;t see the point, I say to myself (but not out loud, because that wuld be weird); whats the point? why won’t this get to the pont? And sometmies, I will just put the point in myslef with a pencel or a pen, asnd it is better.
Sometmes, when i wrte, i feel like I want to let go; but I cnat. i can not let go. Even thouh my best writting comes out whern i dont try. like now: i am tryying vrry hard. but here: here is when I just trry let go:
{{{There’s a nearly inarticulable feeling of being free and in control at the same time. When you’re really on top of your game, there isn’t anything like it. It’s like going surfing and catching ride: You know you’re indebted to the ocean for creating the wave, but you’re able to move from side to side, shift your balance, pick your path.
Good writing comes from reading good work. I’m not ashamed to let a masterfully composed piece of fiction soak in and recognize which elements of that piece appear in my own writing. It’s not a bad thing, to be touched by what you read and have it affect what you produce. In fact, there’s nothing greater than to recognize your craft is evolving, crystallizing, become better.}}}
phew, my brane hurtts. its hardd to let go and rite that way, so, i supose, I will justt try so hard as to nknow i have totel control: i can not give up control, or elsse i cant take full credit for what I right. mabee i would have toi admit that sometimes: i dont know where my writing cmoes from. and, to be honest – id rather just say it was me who did it. that way I get all the credit. and thats the way i like it: myself getting credit. bcause im such a good righter.
